The Comtrend CT-5367 router is considered a wireless router because it offers WiFi connectivity. WiFi, or simply wireless, allows you to connect various devices to your router, such as wireless printers, smart televisions, and WiFi enabled smartphones.

Use a VPN

Have you considered using a VPN when you connect to the internet? A VPN is a great way to increase your security and anonymity while surfing.

We use and recommend NordVPN because not only is it the fastest VPN, it includes a new feature called Meshnet that makes securely sharing your home network super simple. With NordVPN Meshnet, you can connect to your devices from anywhere in the world, completely secure, over a highly encrypted VPN tunnel.

When shopping for a VPN, make sure that they meet the following criteria:

  • Your VPN provider should have a no-logs policy. This means that they do not keep any logs of any kind.
  • Make sure that your VPN provider has lots of exit nodes all around the world.
  • Check that your VPN will not affect your speed.
  • Verify that your VPN provider uses WireGuard as the underlying protocol.
  • Many people prefer a VPN provider that is not based in the United States.

This is the list of requirements that we used when we were shopping around for a VPN provider. There are lots of free, shady VPN providers out there that we looked at and dismissed.

Based in Panama, using diskless servers, and with over 6,100 servers in 61 countries, we can safely say that NordVPN satisfies all of these requirements.

Once you've set up your NordVPN account on multiple computers and enabled Meshnet, you can seamlessly access all of your devices as if they were on the same network. You don't even have to log in to your router. It's very simple.

Every time you click on one of our affiliate links, such as NordVPN, we get a little kickback for introducing you to the service. Think of us as your VPN wingman.

Wireless Password

An important part of securing your wireless network is choosing a strong password.

Wireless Channel

Picking a WiFi channel is not always a simple task. Be sure to read about WiFi channels before making the choice.

Everything on this page can be left alone except the Channel. You need to be sure you are using either channel 1,6, or 11. These three channels are the most you can get out of the wireless spectrum without any overlap. Overlapping channels cause a lot of interference.

Click Save/Apply at the bottom of this page.

On this new page, we strongly recommend disabling all the WPS options. To learn why WPS is a bad idea, read our What is WPS guide.

Scroll down and find the section titled Manual Setup AP.

The first box is titled Select SSID. Use the drop down menu to choose the network name you created earlier.

The next box you need to change is the Network Authentication. Our recommendation is WPA2-PSK. To learn why this is the best option, check out our WEP vs. WPA guide.

Now find the WPA Pre-Shared Key. This is the password you are going to use to access your network. This should be a strong password of at least 20 characters. To learn how to create a strong and memorable password, read our Choosing a strong password guide.

The last thing you need to check is the WPA Encryption. There are a couple choices, TKIP or AES. We recommend AES, it is more secure than TKIP.

Congratulations, you are done. Just don't forget to click the Save/Apply button.

Possible Problems when Changing your WiFi Settings

After making these changes to your router you will almost definitely have to reconnect any previously connected devices. This is usually done at the device itself and not at your computer.
